 The ssParish Notes of stThe Rector's Messenger, just out, tell us: That Bish- op Williams will visit Grace church and administer the rite of confirmation on Sun. day, Dec 4th. That the present indebted ness of the parish is but $4. That a plan was agreed upon at the last vestry meeting by which the pledged receipts, supple mented by the ladies aid society, can be made to meet current expenses for the next six months. That the parish receives from the arch deaconry $350, aud is as- sessed for the missionary fund $15. Also gives many other paragraphs of interest to the parish and those interested in it's work
 No Arrangements have been made by the churches this year for union Thanks giving service. The percentage of people who go to church on Thanksgiving day is not large, and no one congregation will furnish enough hearers to make a parson feel repaid for the time of preparing an elaborate special sermon.

President Charles Francis Adams of

President Charles Francis Adams of the Union Pacific road tells the New York Evening Post that there IS no doubt of the increase in rainfall in what was once called the great American desert, and he has an excellent explanation of it, too. He says that in old times the soil, that never had been ploughed, baked like tile and the whole fall of water poured off from it as if it were cover. Now the plough has ar- rived, the soil is broken, and the land holds it's moisture, and the processes of natural evaporation have followed. More over, this, he says, is still going on, and he gathers from it that, as the new rail- roads take settlers to the new country, 8 new climate will be created and land be conquered by man that was lost to nature.
 Holland County Leader To those who find Americanl laws and customs obnoxious, there is ''healing balm," and that is found in steerage passage home. How long would Germany or England tolerate American bomb -throwers on her soil? The element which has eliminated in the hanging of four men, the suicide of anoth- eff, and the imprisoning of two more, equally guilty with the five, is nothing less than a foreign foe, armed and equip ped for bloodShed. Every loyal citizen, and by this we include persons who have come among us from every other country, should and will unite in protesting against all unlawful acts.

HOPE AND EXPECTATION.

Hawaii looks with hope and ex-
pectation to the meeting of the ma
tional Legislature. That body is
composed of men more truly repre-
sentative of the country's intelli-
gence and interests than any pre-
yious Legislature for many years
past. If its measures are not en-
lightened, progressive, and for the
good of the country, they cannot be
attributed to body of servile and
selfish oilice-holders. II is expected
that enlightened experience and a
single aim for the public good will
combine to establish the affairs of
the nation upon a satisfactory, firm,
and lasting basis. Both the Ministry
and the peoples Representatives
stand on the same platform that
is, the former was appointed in sup
port of certain fundamental prin-
ciples, and the latter were chosen
to sustain the same principles. 1t
is, therefore, reasonable to expect
that the combination should effect
indisputable progress in the line of
genuine reform. The declaration
Of clearly defined, unambiguous
Ministerial policy, reaching into the
future as we'll as embracing the pre-
sent, the Assembly and the country
have a right to look for early in the
session, perhaps outlined in the
"speech from the throne" OF
course, the extra session, called for
special and specific purposes, can
scarcely require a development of
Government policy only so far as it
affects the special objects of the
session: the full development will
be in order at the regular session
next year. 1t is to be hoped the
Government will then if not at the
extra session be prepared with
comprehensive, liberal, and intelli-
gent policy of internal Improvement
and progress, adapted to the coun-
try's peculiar conditions and needs.
The hope and expectation of the
nation intimated at the opening of
this brief article, we sincerely hope
to see realized.

that ''the secret Of repairs to the
Waikiki road is found in the fact
that the editor of the BULLETIN has
property in that district"
Now, as before stated, we are not
aware whether the suggestion Of
this paper had any influence on the
Supervisors plans, but we do know
that our mention of the matter was
not prompted by the selfish motive
attributed to us; for neither the
editor, nor the manager, nor anyone
connected with the BULLETIN has one
foot Of land or other property any
where in that direction, and never
had. This is q simple little
thing, and the mistake Injuries no
one, only that it leaves the editor of
this sheet without a valuable piece
OF real estate which he would not
sneeze at any day. But similar
erroneous guesses are made at mo-
tives every day in matters of greater
importance, doing serious injustice
to good people. 1t is safer to
measure a man by his outward do
ings, which are seen and known,
than by his inward motives, which
are not seen and are not always
known,

ACTIONS AND MOTIVES.

When people begin to seek for the
motives which prompt an action they
tread on uncertain ground. Actions
are visible, but motives are not.
Where motives are unexpressed, or
not easily discoverable from the cir
cumstances surrounding the action,
a cautious, fair-minded, just man
will be slow to impute them. 1t is
better and wiser, generally speak
ing, to measure an action by its
merit or demerit, leaving motives
out of the question. Yet it is the
way of the world to impute motives,
and generally bad ones in preference
to good ones, This community is
not very different from others in
this regard. In fact, some unchar-
table people say that it Is a little
worse than some others. Perhaps
it is. Be that as it may, it certainly
plays second fiddle to no place in
creation.
To illustrate the unreliability of
conclusions respecting mans mo-
tives, and TO show how a man who
wants to find motive for another's
action may get on the wrong track
and bark up the wrong tree, a sim
pie little incident which came to our
knowledge the other day may be
cited. Some of our readers will
probably still remember that a few
weeks ago the BULLETIN called the
attention Of the Road Supervisor to
the condition of the Waikiki road,
and suggested in respectful language
that repairs be effected before the
commencement of wet weather. The
Road Supervisor, who has always
shown ready willingness to avail
himself of any reasonable sugges-
ton, by whomsoever offered, set to
repairing the road as soon as posi-
BILE, and now has the work pretty
well advanced. Whether our sug-
gestion had anything to do with his
movement, Or whether the intention
was conceived beforehand, are mat
matters of no consequence at pres
ent. But this is the point: A
gentleman visiting our office the
other day, referred to the matter of
the Waikiki road, and said something
to the effect that lady had enquired
why the BULLETIN was so much in
terested in that road, to which he
had replied that there was a motive
Tor 1.-THE editor had purchased a
oiece of land out there, and he
wanted good road to his property.
But, said the gentleman, that's all
light, for what benefits him benefits
others at the same time. Since then
We have learned from two others,
